Here’s a fresh and fancy accompaniment to any summer buffet sent in by Lena Post of St. Albert in Alberta. It goes nicely with most meat and fish entrees, Lena says, and is a great way to dress up cauliflower or use up those tomatoes. TIP: To enjoy fresh dill all winter long, we chop up the fine feathery leaves, freeze in small containers and pull off a pinch whenever needed to boost the flavor of potatoes, salads or soups.
